Fail-Safe Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Nissan Armada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the malfunction is detected, ECM enters fail-safe mode and the MIL lights up.
| Engine operation condition in fail-safe mode |
|---|
| The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator in regulating the throttle opening in order for the idle position to be within +10 degrees. The ECM regulates the opening speed of the throttle valve to be slower than the normal condition. So, the acceleration will be poor. |
